Skerries golf club to growTreasury Holdings is looking to extend the golf offer at its €80 million tourism development at Skerries.
Tamorbrick Ltd, a subsidiary of Treasury Holdings, has already secured planning permission for two golf courses, over 40 houses, a hotel, a tennis academy and stables at Milverton Demense and Home Farm in north Co Dublin. The company is believed to have been in talks with a number of north Co Dublin golf clubs about a possible move to Milverton.
Now the developer is looking to modify the scheme by changing the use of Home Farm House from an equestrian centre to a golf clubhouse. This will also involve the construction of a 1,495sq m (16,092sq ft) extension. It is also looking to extend the permitted golf course at home farm by an additional 12 hectares.
Eight-storey block off Capel St
Plans for an eight-storey apartment block in Dublin 7 have been lodged with Dublin City Council.
E McManus & Company is looking for permission to demolish its two-storey warehouse on Little Britain Street, off Capel Street, and replace it with a mixed-use development comprising 33 apartments and two retail units.
Plan for D2 OPW site appealed
A proposed 10-storey apartment block in the heart of Georgian Dublin has been criticised by residents. The 94-apartment scheme on the former OPW site at Lad Lane will comprise a gym, cinema, hospitality suite and conference room, if planners at Dublin City Council give approval.
This is the second time that developers Clondean Ltd, made up of Mark Sloan, Francis Rhatigan and Christopher Jones, have attempted to get planning on the prime Dublin 2 site.
Previously, plans for an 11-storey 134-apartment scheme, approved by the council, were successfully appealed to the planning board by neighbours in 2006.
Green Party chairman John Gormley is among 26 objectors to the new €70 million scheme. In a letter to the council he said his main objection to the scheme is "the negative impact" the proposed development would have on the residents of Court Apartments on Wilton Place.
The majority of objections are from residents in the Court Apartments. Jasper C Brett said the proposed blocks are out of scale with the adjoining properties and, in particular, the 10-storey block is a "monster size".
